2 Claims.

This invention relates to crocheted material and the process of making the same.

The principal object of this invention is the provision of crocheted pile material having for a base a simple web and having formed thereon a plurality of loops forming the pile.

A further object of this invention is the provision of a crocheted pile material so formed as to be non-raveling at either its edges or at any break that might occur in the material.

A further object of the invention is the provi sion of a crocheted pile material which, due to the above mentioned qualities, is especially adaptable for coats, sweaters, and other similar articles of wearing apparel, and the formation of toys such as toy animals and the like.

A still further object is the provision of a process of making the crocheted pile material as described herein,

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, Without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 1 is a view of the finished side of the material showing the loops forming the pile thereon.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same material showing the web and the loops formed thereon.

Figure 3 is a greatly enlarged detail view of the formation of the crocheted material, this View showing a section of web and two loops formed thereon,

By referring to the drawing it will be seen that I have provided a crocheted pile material comprising a web I having a plurality of loops 2. By referring to Figure 1 it will be seen that the completed material, when viewed from the front shows only a number of loops of yarn 2, the web I being completely covered thereby.

By referring to Figure 3 of the drawing it will be seen that a greatly enlarged detail view of the crocheted material has been shown with the various parts purposely shown loosely tied so that the actual formation of the material is apparent. It will be seen that the material is formed by first crocheting a section of simple chain stitch 3, this chain stitch being started at a point 4.

The width of the material being made is determined by the length of chain first formed.

After a suflicient length of the chain stitch has been crocheted, the thread is wrapped over the crochet needle and the needle is inserted in the fourth chain stitch from the needle, as indicated at numeral 5, and the thread is drawn through this chain stitch, thereby forming three loops on the needle; namely, the last loop of the chain, the one specified as being wrapped over the hook, and the one formed by drawing the yarn through the chain at point 5. A finger is then placed over the yarn to form the loop and the thread is drawn through the first two loops on the needle. As the yarn drawn through these first two loops forms a loop there are still two loops on the needle. The thread is then thrown over the needle and drawn through the remaining two loops. This process forms one portion of the web and one loop shown in Figure 3. This is continued the length of the chain 3, at which time the yarn is broken and knotted.

Succeeding rows are formed similarly with the exception that the needle is inserted in the upper edge row 6 of the crochet instead of the original chain 3. In the event that a circular section of material is desired, the crochet is formed continuously without breaking off the yarn at the end of the row.

To insure the accurate formation of a circular section of material, it is necessary at intervals to put two loops 2 in one of the stitches of the upper edge row 5. A practical example of this would be-one loop in each of two succeeding stitches of the row 6 and two loops in the third stitch, and continuing in that manner. The added loops serve to fill out the pile of the material without the addition of extra webs for their support.

It will be seen that the crocheted pile material herein described forms a series of interlocking webs and loop portions resulting in a substantial non-fraying crocheted material.

What I claim is:

1. A crocheted pile material comprising a web and pile elements consisting of moderate length loops crocheted along with the web, the said web and pile elements being formed by crocheting a length of chain stitch, the thread then being wrapped over the needle and inserted in the fourth chain stitch back from the needle, the thread being then drawn through this chain stitch, thereby forming three loops on the needle, a loop of the thread then being wrapped around the finger and the said thread drawn through the first two loops on the needle and then through the remainthree loops on the needle, a loop of the thread then being wrapped around the finger and the said thread drawn through the first two loops on the needle and then through the remaining two loops, thus forming one portion of the web and one loop, continued similar portions forming a single row, and continued rows formed in the same manner upon the top edge of the preceding row.
